Stop Breast Cancer for Life

Every 2.5 minutes a woman is diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Help to make a difference in the lives of those who are affected by Breast Cancer. Please check out this link http://www.lifetimetv.com/breastcancer/petition/signpetition.php and sign the Brest Cancer Patient Protection Act petition. This is a bill that is going to be voted on in Congress that would make it mandatory for women to have a 48 hour hospital stay after a masectomy. A lot of times women are discharged only hours after this serious surgery.


My grandmother had breast cancer twice and finally had a masectomy several years ago. This is something that is very important to me and I hope that you will take the time to check out the site, learn more and sign the petition.

Remember to do your self exams, early detection is key.


Have a wonderful night,
Cathy
